A Special Note of Gratitude
Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of coaching a remarkable team at Sail Exchange, both in their business performance and their sailing endeavours. This group has taught me as much about coaching as I have taught them, and our collaborative journey has been a true inspiration. Their dedication to sustained peak performance, both on and off the water, has significantly influenced this month's newsletter theme. I am deeply grateful for the insights and growth we have shared together.
